Ryan Mallett to start for Texans Week 2 vs. Panthers

“That’s all I’m anxious about”. I really just couldn’t fight back.

The Houston Texans dropped their season opener for the first time in six years 27-20 to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. This should be taken with a grain of salt as the Chiefs were likely playing base defense with the game basically sealed.

“I felt like it (inserting Mallett in the fourth quarter) was the best decision for the team”.

Pulled from the starting quarterback position before the completion of his first game on the job, it appears that Brian Hoyer will be the reserve quarterback with the Houston Texans.

For now, Blue and Grimes are splitting carries while the Texans wait for Foster.

Ryan Mallett will reportedly start against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Griffin was hurt in week one against the Kansas City Chiefs. Soon after Travis Kelce would catch a strike from Alex Smith to give the Chiefs a 7-0 lead early.

WR CECIL SHORTS III had four catches for 57 yards in his Texans debut against the Chiefs.

Texans coach Bill O’Brien is keeping his team’s quarterback controversy alive. Bryan Hoyer completed 18 of 34 passes for 236 yards, one touchdown against one interception.

PASSING OFFENSE: C-minus – Quarterback Brian Hoyer was replaced by Ryan Mallett after throwing an interception and losing a fumble.

From National Football League communications the National Football League capsule for the Panthers week 2 game against the Texans is below.
